The head of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said late on Monday that his paramilitaries would immediately enter into a three-month humanitarian truce, after US President Donald Trump said last week that he would intervene to seek an end to a war that has plunged the country into famine.
The United States, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia - known as the Quad - earlier this month proposed a plan for a three-month truce followed by peace talks. The RSF responded by saying it had accepted the plan, but soon after attacked army territory with a barrage of drone strikes.
